Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems NYC HH meetup on Thursday March 10th, 2011

Didn't Norm Steinke used to have this position? Sorry to barge into this thread, but just curious whether Norm is still with Meridian USA and if so, what position?

Thanks...

Inshallah I will be there. As far as Norm, he's still with the company not sure of his position tho. He's a great guy.

boy, this is shaping up to be a really exciting meeting!

Plenty of interesting topics come to mind :-) ...

New bookshelf speakers, new Sooloos system, some tri-state Hitchhikers...last minute attendees encouraged!

Looking forward to it .....

Ok,

Tonight is the meetup ... 6 PM .

here is the Google Link about 1 block south of Houston, around the corner from the Apple store in Soho.

Suite 407
The SoHo Building
110 Greene Street

Looking forward to meeting a few HHitchhikers and learning a bit.

Hi guys, just back from the grand opening of brand new Meridian HQ in SoHo Manhattan.

Interesting to compare the entry level to the flagship DSP side-by-side. How was it ?

And, how was that beer ?

This looks great, will definately see this store next time I'm in town.

Unfair comparison, but the little ones stood the test of time. They are DSP bookshelf speakers. I guess they will do OK in a small Manhattan apartment. I wanted to see the video in action, but the room got too hot and their AC didn't work and the Meridian PJ didn't come on at first try. The new Sooloos is pretty cool, but I am not a fan tho, may be in the future. I really liked the touch screen. The traffic was really bad because of the rain. I left after hour and half. The only person I knew was Simon Leger and didn't get a chance to introduce myself to others. As far as the beer, I don't drink and we learned how to open the beer bottle. Next time around I will stay longer. Sorry the pictures are not that great, my phone got wet.

It was an interesting night last night. Thanks to MJT5282 for setting it up. It was a pleasure to meet some fellow HHs (Mike, Simon and Jerome).

I was in the second room demo so the projector worked fine, well, that's an understatement. Very impressive.

I'll characterize the 3200s as over-achievers. They have no business sounding as good as they did for their size. The comparison to the 8Ks was completely unfair.

BTW, this is their NY office, not a store.

OK my bad , not a store but their new Manhattan HQ. That area SoHo is becoming very expensive real estate. What used to be old once , now it's new again. The folks at HQ were very nice.
